Carl, you will be missed Brother. I will cherish the fond memories always. See you on the OBJ. Mitch (DOL)

It was truly a kick I the gut to find out about Carl's passing. He was a wonderful commander and a "stand up" friend who had his people's back. I have known Carl since 1982 and his presence in my life made me a better man. God Bless, Guy T Compton

I first met Carl in 1986 at Fort Riley KS, he encouraged me to peruse my dream of becoming a Green Beret, five years later he would become my first Company Commander when I arrived to 10th Special Forces Group. An outstanding leader, Soldier, and always the Professional. You will be missed by ALL, until we meet again in Valhalla rest easy my friend.

Carl, You were a good man. You are missed. May God bless your soul. Les
